Allergic inflammatory diseases such as food allergy, asthma, sinusitis, and atopic dermatitis are increasing worldwide. In this study, we investigated the effects of aqueous extract of Mosla chinensis Max. (AMC) on mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation and studied the possible mechanism of this action. AMC inhibited compound 48/80-induced systemic and immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated local anaphylaxis. AMC reduced intracellular calcium levels and downstream histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells activated by compound 48/80 or IgE. In addition, AMC decreased gene expression and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 in human mast cells. The inhibitory effect of AMC on cytokine expression was nuclear factor (NF)-κB dependent. Our results indicate that AMC inhibits mast cell-mediated allergic inflammatory reaction by suppressing histamine release and expression of proinflammatory cytokines and the involvement of calcium and NF-κB in these effects. AMC might be a possible therapeutic candidate for allergic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract Human basophils possess receptors for interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4. The effect of 3 days of intravenous administration of IL-2 and/or IL-4 on basophil histamine release was examined in three groups of patients receiving IL-2, IL-4, or the combination of agents as part of a protocol to treat malignant melanoma or renal cell carcinoma. Because all patients received ranitidine for control of side effects, a control group of patients receiving ranitidine for Zollinger-Ellison's syndrome was also studied. IL-4 significantly inhibited IgE-mediated histamine release, while there was a trend for enhancement of IgE-mediated histamine release by IL-2. Administration of the combination of IL-2 and IL-4 did not alter IgE-mediated basophil histamine release. Both IL- 2 and IL-4, alone and in combination, enhanced basophil histamine release induced by histamine releasing factors in human nasal washings. The effect of IL-2 alone was significantly greater than that of IL-4 alone or the combination of IL-2 plus IL-4. Taken together, the data suggest that when coadministered, IL-4 may inhibit the effects of IL-2 on basophils. Neither cytokine exerted any effect on basophil histamine release induced by the calcium ionophore A23187, nor did ranitidine cause any effects on histamine release induced by any of the stimulants. Thus, human basophil reactivity can be affected by IL-2 and by IL-4. The role that these two cytokines play in basophil function in vivo is likely to be complex.
